Trump and Netanyahu coordinate on Iran nuclear deal demands and potential military action

U.S. President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met recently in Florida and Washington D.C. to discuss strategy regarding Iran's nuclear and ballistic missile programs. During these meetings, Trump reportedly committed to supporting Israeli strikes on Iranian missile facilities if diplomatic negotiations fail to produce a deal. Netanyahu publicly stated that any agreement with Tehran must involve the complete dismantling of nuclear infrastructure and the removal of all enriched material from Iranian soil. Additionally, the two leaders agreed to intensify a maximum pressure campaign by targeting Iranian oil exports to China, which currently account for 80% of Iran's oil sales. Reports indicate that U.S. military and intelligence officials are already discussing logistics for potential support of Israeli operations, including aerial refueling and airspace permissions. Netanyahu also outlined a long-term goal for Israel to become militarily self-sufficient, aiming to phase out U.S. military aid over the next seven years. Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has traveled to Geneva for a new round of nuclear negotiations amidst these developments.
